Ian Fowler expressed his horror after the sentencing of Sekai Miles, who brutally killed his father, Bernard Fowler, 87, in an unprovoked attack. The violence, captured on CCTV, included gouging Bernard's eyes and beating him with his own walking stick. Miles had a mental health history, previously sectioned, leading Ian to call for accountability for the medical professionals involved in Miles's care. An inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Miles’s treatment is anticipated, as Ian shares his disbelief at the brutality of the act and the inadequacies in mental health oversight.
I'm a bit speechless... I couldn't believe what he had done. It was absolutely sickening. Ian, from Basildon, had just left the sentencing hearing for the man behind what the prosecution called an appalling attack on his father.
Bernard, 87... was savagely beaten to death by schizophrenic Sekai Miles... gouged Bernard's eyes before bludgeoning him to death with his own walking stick, then repeatedly stamping on his head.
The attack was completely unprovoked... I can't believe how barbaric it was... It isn't like they had a fight and someone died. It's barbaric.
I understand that there's going to be an inquiry, Ian said. The person that should be liable is the person that signed him off. That person who signed him off should be sacked.
